Additionally, the stellar M-dwarf host TOI-1201 is found in a wide binary system.
Observations of planets in multiple-star systems can shed light on stellar and planet formation [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, [4]}. To date, planet discoveries in binary systems where the primary is an M dwarf are scarce despite them being the most abundant stars in our Galaxy [5]}, [6]}, [7]}. An M dwarf is the primary in fewer than 10 % of the known binary systems with planet detectionshttps://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/, accessed on 29 March 2021.
Such a low count is not surprising since M-dwarf systems with close visual companions were typically discarded from dedicated detection surveys due to the lack of high-resolution near-IR spectrographs and the high risk of potential light contamination in transits [8]}.
